We meet and exceed these latest requirements. After 2 years most of our competition does not.

We design, host and promote business grade websites. If you have a business, you can't afford to do it yourself or outsource to Asia. We
are local, we are better and we cost less than free if you factor in your time or lost business.

If your website is not getting the best results possible, we can help!

CIT Services is a full service software development company in CT.

We develop software for small and medium sized businesses in all of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts. We used ASP.NET
to develop business grade applications that run in Chrome or other browsers. We use mostly Microsoft SQL Server but are fully
capable of developing for Oracle or PostgreSQL.

We also record and produce business video, on DVD's, on websites or for YouTube.

Let your business soar with a new website!

Service

Good service in the internet age

It is tempting to proclaim CIT's technical prowness on this primary tab. Our skills are top-notch and current, but skills do not set us apart
from the competition. Many other companies, large and small, have top-notch current skills.

It is tempting to proclaim competitive prices on this primary tab. We are local but we can compete on price against the offshore
companies. If you may wonder how this is possible, it is because one of the original rules in Information Technology is still true today:

A good software developer is more productive than 2 average software developers and costs less. Mistakes and ignorance are expensive.

We proclaim that CIT's primary advantage over our competition is not prowness or price; it is service. Our service
is better because we are local, because we have the experience and because we care about our customers. Our customers are
not faceless people we will never meet and we are not a front for developers in Asia.

Video

Video Recording and Production

OK, we confess. Video does not pay the bills. It only pays for the vacation and is more like a paying hobby than a regular
business. We rarely do weddings or similar events, this is more typical:

There is also a lot more information about video on the main menu at the top of the page.

Website Design

Website Design, Development and Promotion in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New England

Design is choosing a theme, a color scheme, fonts and appearance. It is also about choosing a target
audience.

Development is coding to meet the design goals. There is considerable overlap between design,
development and promotion. For example:

• A website that is poorly coded cannot meet promotion or design standards. Unless the coding is free of common syntax errors, it may look fine in Chrome but
terrible in a Microsoft or Apple browser. If a website is poorly coded it will not meet Google standards and be docked in Google searches.

• A design may be impractical when coding starts. Or a design may be too expensive to develop. Everyone has a budget.

• Design, Development and Search Engine Optimization (promotion) are not standalone sections of a website. There is overlap
and it is an iterative process.

The same person should do all 3 functions. Having a sales person do your design and someone in Asia doing
the development and a third person overseeing the SEO is a recipe for a website that performs very poorly in its primary task, finding customers for your business.

Software Design

Microsoft Office, QuickBooks and a good business card is not enough to run a successful small business.

Whether you need a little help setting up a server or you need a custom business application, we can deliver what you need.

CIT Services is more than a website development company. In fact, website design has become what we do between software
development projects. Our specialties are ASP.NET with C# and Microsoft SQL Server.

If you prefer another database, we can also support Oracle and PostgreSQL, but
we do not believe in using insecure and under-powered databases like MySQL or Microsoft Access.

If you prefer another development environment we are certified in Java although it has been a few years. C# and Java are
very similar. We do not believe in using under-powered, obsolete or insecure development languages like Visual Basic or PHP.

Our goal is to deliver solid and secure systems, not a cheap app and not something that fails in the middle of the night. Business is not a game and you, as a
businessperson, should think twice about contracting with a company that uses tools designed for cheap mobile apps or video games. ASP.NET, Java, SQL Server,
Oracle and PostgreSQL are all business grade development tools. Other than these 5, very little else is business grade.

Featured Customers

Most website designers won't show their work. Please take a look at our work; we are proud of these websites. There is a full list on
the Website Services page.

CIT is a local Connecticut software development and website design company. We are not interested in Boston or New York
customers but it is difficult to attract customers in the surrounding towns without putting the name of the town into the
header of the Home page. It would be nice if Google would rank every page in a website the same, but they don't, so
our only realistic choice is to have separate websites for the major surrounding towms. Here they are:
